Clos Saouma Châteauneuf Du Pape Rouge Arioso 2021
Clos Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge ARIOSO 2021 is the flagship red wine of Mounir and Rotem Saouma, crafted from a tiny parcel of old-vine Grenache planted in the 1930s in the historic Pignan sector. The sandy and rocky soils of Pignan are renowned for producing wines of exceptional perfume, elegance, and finesse, qualities that have often drawn comparisons to the legendary wines of Château Rayas. The wine undergoes extended ageing in a combination of large foudres, demi-muids, and concrete vessels, allowing remarkable complexity to develop while preserving purity and site expression.
The cooler and more classical 2021 vintage highlights freshness and precision over sheer power. Aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry, red cherry, violet, dried herbs, cedar, and subtle spice rise from the glass with remarkable intensity. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, combining silky texture with vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and impressive mineral tension. Layers of red fruits, licorice, crushed stone, lavender, and garrigue unfold seamlessly, leading to a long, saline, and beautifully polished finish. Critics have praised the 2021 for its elegance, drive, and Burgundian sense of refinement, making it one of the most graceful Arioso releases to date.
Built for long-term ageing yet already captivating with decanting, ARIOSO 2021 is a profound expression of old-vine Grenache that marries the richness of Châteauneuf-du-Pape with extraordinary finesse, transparency, and longevity.
